WHAT: A
winter running program designed to help those RunHers who
would like to maintain or improve their conditioning. Al
Logie, RunHers track co-coach, will coach the weekly
workouts. Al has been coaching for over 25 years and is a
former NCAA champion and a national team member for his
native Trinidad. The workouts will include drills,
pick-ups, pace work, resistance and strength training. The
workouts are designed to improve your running form, focus,
speed, and your overall strength. The program is designed
to accommodate runners of all abilities who are running on
a regular basis. It’s a great way to improve your running
during the colder months with the camaraderie of your
fellow RunHers. Al promises that the workouts will be
spirited, challenging and fun.
